The bar in the open window lines up with the bars on the closed windows, and they line up right on the horizon. This forcefully anchors the house and the tree to the otherwise endless vista of the desert.
Now go with me on this one regarding the bent bars on top. Walk into some large "gothicy" church or cathedral. Look up above the tops of the columns and beneath the large stained glass windows. Odds are you will see a "belt line" of some sort of stone or plaster molding. This represents the border between heaven and earth. Now follow that line around the building. You will see the belt line pierced by ornate items - perhaps angels. This is our path into heaven.
The bent bars put me in that cathedral and pierce the border between heaven and earth, between the barn and the intensely blue sky (even in B/W I can see the deep blue).
